Discovering The Gold Coast Backpackers Hostel

Being able to travel internationally and visit countries all over the world is a

dream come true for people who decide to strap on a backpack and start out. They have found that staying in hostels is the way to be able to afford to have accommodations at a lower price and have money for other things. Locating a Gold Coast Backpackers Hostel, when visiting Australia, has been an experience which has been enjoyed by many of these travellers.

Gold Coast is the name of a city in Australia, which is located on the southeast corner of Queensland and has 35 miles of coastline. It has a subtropical climate and has a rain forest nearby which many enjoy. It has unusual plant and animal life some of which are not seen elsewhere in the world. Nerang River is the most prominent fresh water waterway in the region, having many walking and bicycle paths for one to enjoy.

For the backpacker there are a number of hostels available in or near the city. These are often full so it is important that reservations be made well in advance. Due to their popularity, some limit the number of nights a person can stay. If longer time is desired it might be necessary to make other reservations, at the same time, for different days.

The majority of the hostels offer dorm sleeping arrangements with bunks or beds. They have shared quarters, which include kitchens, bathrooms and social areas. Many have Internet access, cable television, swimming pool, postal service and many more amenities. A careful check of an Internet site or brochures is advised before making reservations. Clean bedding is furnished and there is always staff on hand to assist with any problem or give necessary directions.

The city of Gold Coast is known throughout the world for its wonderful surfing beach. With 35 miles of coastline, it is a surfer's paradise. It is part of the ASP World Tour of Surfing and many famous surfers take advantage of its outstanding waves.

Sports minded people really find their niche in the city with its well-known rugby, basketball and ice hockey competition. Sports fans look forward to these games and they constantly draw a large audience. Because of their popularity, anyone wishing to attend should purchase their tickets well in advance.

During the year there are many events taking place. Among these are car racing in October and the Gold Coast Marathon in July. The backpacker might be interested in taking part in the marathon and would be welcomed to join in. Theme parks, theatres, art galleries and other attractions are also available. To really get to know the people and their culture hiking out to the surrounding countryside will give an insight into the residents' lives, their way of living and other aspects of their lives.

Opportunities abound for the adventurous backpacker in his or her trip to various places throughout the world. Taking up residence in a Gold Coast Backpacking Hostel is one way to gain experience in a very inexpensive way. There are always staff members who can answer questions and give directions and it presents a chance to make new friends and learn more about the world we live in.
